Digital School Technical Design College is an innovative private vocational post-secondary institution nestled in Alberta’s capital city of Edmonton, with the goal of providing an educational environment unlike no other; to pioneer a more effective way of learning and a better way to prepare students for careers in architecture, engineering, construction and manufacturing.

We believe, that while technology offers new tools to create your visions, it is our ultimate goal to allow you to interact transparently with the software. At Digital School, we know that it is not the technology that drives results, but the student’s desire and vision. Digital School’s instructor’s are working professionals who bring their passion and experience to the classroom. They know the importance of understanding how the real world operates, to ensure our curriculum at Digital School is always moving in tandem with the industry – wherever it might be headed.

Digital School knows technical design training. Formerly the Alberta School of Drafting, Digital School is building upon 25 years of design training experience. We’ve provided CAD training to several hundreds of students in full-time diploma programs and part-time industry training.

Computer Aided Design (CAD, has become the standard in the professional field of drafting. Drafters create technical drawings and plans that are used to build a number of things, ranging from toys and household appliances, to skyscrapers, pipelines and much more. Many drafters have an area in which they specialize, which can include electrical, mechanical, civil, and architectural drafting, to name a few.
